The town is easily accessible in 50 minutes from London Marylebone to Thame Haddenham Parkway.
Visitors can browse the High Street's range of independent shops, which give Thame a special atmosphere.
Legend has it that Shakespeare visited the High Street during his time as a strolling player.
One of the town's major attractions is Thame and Oxfordshire County Show, which dates back 130 years and claims to be "England´s greatest one-day country show."
The September fair takes place at the same time as the show and another attraction is the two-day charter fair in October, which dates back to medieval times. There is a thriving weekly market, monthly farmers market and regular livestock market.
A new museum will trace the town's history, including reference to the patriot John Hampden, who received his education in Thame before joining Oxford University's Magdalen College at the age of 15. He eventually died in Thame, of wounds received during the Civil War.
Because it is the quintessential English market town Thame is a popular location for the filming of television programmes, such as Midsomer Murders.
Cuttle Brook Nature Reserve provides 27 acres for rambling, picnics and bird watching and the Oxfordshire golf course has hosted a number of professional tournaments and some of the world's best golfers.
